Well this doesn't come from my SBC experience, but I also happen to be a musician and recording engineer. The rage these days are the Sony professional line. They are very robust, full range and the prices are between $ 100 and $200. I have both a noise cancelling set for air travel and a full sized studio set for recording/monitoring. Both are great. You can also go to any chain music store like Guitar Center and buy them, or the good old Sennheiser or AKG models as well. Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

When I get into something, I buy the gear. Skiing, Shooting pool, bowling, tennis, computer gaming, whatever. I like having my own stuff to get used to, and I like that stuff to be nice. Not top-of-the-line crazy nice, but nice.. know what I mean? In this particular issue, I'm leaning toward audiophile level stuff because a good headset can last a long time, and provide alot of enjoyment reguardless of what other stuff I end up getting down the road (whether PC or Audio gear). Any input welcome. -David -----Original Message----- From: Jason Patten [mailto:pattenj@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 12:09 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: OT: Headphone reccomendation You must be a serious gamer, to me anything more than 20 for a set of Gaming headphones would be too much. :) All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you -----Original Message----- From: David Demers [mailto:david.demers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 1:56 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] OT: Headphone reccomendation I was wondering if any of you have a reccomendation for a set of headphones for a home gaming environment. I've done some searching on the net and am leaning toward a set of Grado SR60's or SR80's for their quality/value (I'm not afraid to be cheap :P). However I've heard they don't win any awards for comfort, and this concerns because on weekends and days off I can put some serious time into my gaming. I think the Holy Grail is likely to be the Sennheiser HD580, but I don't know if its worth the dent in the wallet. Top end of the budget is prolly $200, but I'd prefer to stay way under that. Any of you guys have suggestions? -David ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor - RTO Software / TScale What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers?
